TBH It genuinly made me a bit sad to see that Clay became such a monster. Judging by his behavior in Less Than Zero, I thought that he’d be a bit more morally righteous.

in the passage at the end of the book when he has drugged and beaten up Rain, he goes into a memory in th edesert and mentiones a skull is that supposed ot imply he killed someone and kept the skull as a trophy

He was great. Smart, answers frankly, pleasant and close to his audience.

I'd loved of seen Christian Bale's meeting Bret in the character of Patrick Bateman. That sounds like it'd be hilarious.

"Imperial Bedrooms" is such an amazing book :) At first, I was like "A sequel to Less than zero" ???? WTF ??? LOL But the book is brilliant, and stands on its own with his qualities and the way it goes deeper and deeper into loneliness and Noir paranoia :)

He was in a good mood that day

If you like Bret's writing you would probably like Wasting Talent by Ryan Leone.

I was deeply affected by the movie 1st seeing it in 1988 @ Keene State. It gave me a glimpse @ several pals @ prep school. I was on the outside of that click b/c of family-status. Shalom

I think the reading is pretty good. But its been a couple of months since I read the book and that first part didn't sound very good to me now. But I liked it when I first read it so maybe I should try reading it again.

I definitely was dissapointed in Imperial Bedrooms after reading Less than Zero

@StephenDedalus74 2 месяца назад

@@paulgardner5079 Imperial Bedrooms is brilliant and sometimes goes deeper into strangeness and Neo Noir paranoia vibes (after all, the book was written after "American Psycho" or "Lunar Park" !). So IMHO Less than Zero is the genius first novel of a great writer, and Imperial Bedrooms is the cool and dark (maybe more abstract ??) variation/ sequel :) Anyway I LOVE them both for what they are :)

It is a great video, but I wish he didn't rush through reading and took some time to read a bit better, and with better pace. I guess he is a writer, not a voice actor...
